The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement. At its meeting of 30 August 2011, the Board of Directors decided that the financial reporting period, which until now ran from 1 October to 30 September, should in future correspond to the financial year of its main shareholder, Artemis Beteiligungen III AG. As of 1 January 2012, therefore, Feintool's financial year will correspond to the calendar year. From 2012 onwards, the closing date for the balance sheet will be 31 December. The transitional phase will see an abridged financial year run from 1 October 2011 to 31 December 2011. As a result, events in the financial calendar are scheduled as follows: 30 November 2011 Annual media conference FY 2010/11 24 January 2012 General meeting FY 2010/11 06 March 2012 Publication of results for abridged financial year (provisional) 17 April 2012 General Meeting for abridged financial year (provisional) For the abridged financial year, we expect the level of business to remain similar to that in the preceding quarters. Sales and EBIT are likely to hold steady at their previous levels. The dates in the financial calendar can be viewed as of today on the Feintool website at Investors/IR-Calendar.
